An Inspiring Rehearsal!

An Inspiring Rehearsal!

The March 22 Deer Creek Chorale rehearsal was both uplifting and reaffirming. Not only did the Deer Creek Chorale applaud the courage of our guests newly arrived in the United States from war-torn Kyiv, Ukraine but the chorus made beautiful music with guest clinician Blake Clark. Blake is the Director of Music for the Baltimore Choral Arts Society and a longtime friend of the Deer Creek Chorale. During the rehearsal, Blake worked with the adult chorus to regulate breathing and to refine their understanding of Mozart’s music, choral dynamics and  latin pronunciation. This was all in preparation for the DCC’s April 24th concert From Darkness to Light  which includes the Mozart Requiem in D minor K.626. The sanctuary resounded with glorious music echoing Blake’s spoken sentiment; music changes men and changed men can change the world,
